Chapter 4 [Throwing bricks and hitting the face]
Van Gundy, eager to decide on a candidate, went straight to the point.
"If the Knicks face the Bulls in the playoffs, how should they arrange offensive and defensive tactics? You must have watched the finals, and you have 5 minutes to think and answer quickly."
Van Gundy believes that in addition to the Bulls, the East has a way to deal with it, and the assistants needed mainly have ideas on the offensive end.
This question is directly related to the Knicks' goals for next season, and it also tests the coach's reaction, just 5 minutes.
To become an NBA-level coach, you must not only arrange basic training, but also have a tactical concept suitable for the team, as well as sufficient on-the-spot adaptability.
It's bad for Van Gundy to react on the spot. If he is surrounded by a talkative assistant, doing some kind of mental victory or trolling the stars, the Knicks have no hope.
Good coaches have a certain amount of accumulation, and Thibodeau and Boyd have long considered this issue when they watched the finals.
Even so, they did not speak first. Thibodeau is 39 years old and Boyd is 45 years old. He is well-informed and restrained.
Speak first, if the idea is not good enough, or if Van Gundy doesn't have it in mind, it will be at a disadvantage.After opening, it can integrate the thoughts of competitors and deepen the tactics.
Those who speak later also have disadvantages. If the opponent's tactics are too perfect, or the ideas are similar, and they can't raise objections and can only agree, they may lose the opportunity to perform.
Thibodeau and Boyd aim to be head assistants, see each other as rivals, and don't want to go wrong.
Just as they were having an ideological struggle, Yang Rui raised his hand, pointed to a white tactical board by the wall, and said, "I have thought about this issue, can I talk about it first?"
Watching Van Gundy's expression, Yang Rui frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with his opening his mouth after thinking about it for less than a minute.
Strange to say, this industry obviously needs coaches to have quick adaptability, but thinking too fast and speaking too directly will be unpleasant.
Van Gundy only felt that Yang Rui wanted to express himself too much and was unstable.Since it is said that learning is the main thing, shouldn't we listen to the seniors first?Even if you ask a question, the two agreed with what he said first, and then it was not too late.
The two of them had no objection, they smiled and didn't take Yang Rui seriously at all.
Van Gundy also qualified as a coach at the age of 23. He became an assistant coach of the Knicks at the age of 27. It took him four years to impress the management, which is a record in NBA history.If Yang Rui is to succeed in getting the job, he has to be more talented than Van Gundy.
Van Gundy came from a basketball family, what does Yang Rui do?
Their views are similar to those of Nets head coach Calipari. The level of Chinese basketball is not good. Even if a young Chinese has watched football from a young age, how deeply can he understand tactics?This person will not be very strong, it is appropriate to stand up and attract jade.
Yang Rui asked for a tactical pen, quickly drew a few times on the tactical board, and smiled: "I will talk about defense first. I think the Bulls' attack strength is only due to the individual abilities of Jordan and Pippen, not the overall. The focus of the triangle offense is , is to help the stars create singles opportunities. Therefore, my defensive strategy is to shrink the players to the restricted area, ensure that the two people are defended and double-teamed, and force the opponent to make a mid-to-long shot."
He drew a simple court line on the tactical board. The players were marked with the number 12345. The positions were extremely clear. Except for the point guard, the other four were all shrunk near the penalty area.
In 1997, computers were not yet a general-purpose product for households, and ordinary people rarely understood how basketball referees worked, let alone draw these tactical maps.
Yang Rui's future work is related to NBA tactics. In the website columns such as Wonderful Cooperation and Five Best Balls, he has to match the goals with flash tactical movement maps. He has become an expert with a lot of knowledge. He is better than Jerry in the five-star training camp Learning to draw is more advanced.
There was a strange look in Van Gundy's eyes immediately, which coincided with his thoughts.
At present, the NBA does not allow zone defense, but Van Gundy's unique technique for survival is the "pseudo zone defense". In the positional battle, following the opponent's movement to shrink the formation, blocking the penalty area with 3 or 4 people, forcing the opponent to shoot from the mid-to-long distance instead of breaking in. A layup or dunk under the basket.
This defensive effect is obvious. Last season, the Knicks averaged 92.2 points per game, second only to the Heat's 89.3 points, ranking second in the league.Losing points, the Bulls can only rank third with 92.3 points.
All the experts in the room immediately understood Yang Rui's tactical intentions.
Both Thibodeau and Boyd frowned, disgusted as if they had eaten flies, and couldn't refute them at all.They felt that Yang Rui took advantage of it. The Knicks already rely on defense to win, and he just said Van Gundy's favorite tactics.
Van Gundy was also suspicious, so he asked, "Why? Can you explain it in detail?"
"The reason is very simple. The Bulls lack three-point shooting points. Jordan and Pippen are not strong three-pointers. Jordan can break through the frame, or play with the ball in the low post. At this time, shrinking the double-team can interfere with the shooting and force him to pass the ball. . We let Rodman and Langley short on the perimeter, let them shoot, how many points can we get in a game? These two are very poor in mid-to-long-range shots and generally don’t shoot.”
Van Gundy was expressionless and asked again: "So, how did the Knicks break through the Bulls' defense? They are also good at guarding the restricted area. Do you need time to think about offensive tactics?"
"No, it's very simple." Yang Rui smiled.
All four were surprised, and it was not so easy to talk on paper.If the Knicks were good at offense, they would not have been reversed by the Heat in the second round. He actually said it was very simple?
Because of the Knicks' bad offense, the media did not give Van Gundy a good look. He has been suffering since May and has not recovered.
Yang Rui was not at all stage frightened, and drew another attacking route map on the whiteboard.
"Ward or Childs play from the [-]-point line, Houston and Ewing run off the ball on one side to get rid of defenders, Johnson and Oakley both have the ability to shoot from the mid-range and attract defenses on one side, when people are marked The person who switches to Houston is usually Langley, who moves slowly, and if he doesn't guard the [-]-point line, Houston's catch and shot is a near-open opportunity."
General manager Ernie also thought it was a good strategy, and asked, "What if Langley came out on defense?"
Yang Rui added a few more strokes to the picture and smiled: "Houston is not a pure pitcher, he can attack with the ball out of position, pass Langley's pull-up jumper, or choose to pass the ball. Langley was pulled out of the penalty area, Ewing was empty. Cutting the basket and catching the ball is a good opportunity. Rodman is only 201cm tall, so even if he gets to the basket, he can’t help Ewing. If the Bulls shrink, we will move the ball and shoot from the middle and long distances, which is more accurate than them.”
Is it really that simple?Van Gundy was a little excited. "How to attack as a substitute, have you considered it?"
"The same, relying on screens to create dislocation opportunities, players pull away, and at least two stable three-point shooting points are maintained on the court. Fortunately, the Knicks are such a team, and Starks is the first in the NBA to make a single-season shot. Two hundred [-]-pointers, he can definitely play well."
Van Gundy smiled and clapped a few times. "well said!"
Both Thibodeau and Boyd's faces darkened. Sadly, they found that Yang Rui's offensive tactics, they could not raise any objections.
This is not just throwing bricks at their faces, but directly throwing bricks in their faces.
